Full disclosure: This beer came to fruition because we saw a gap in our portfolio and we wanted to increase our market share. 

Sometimes the truth hurts. But most often, it's damn refreshing. 

The Truth Imperial IPA -- the latest addition to our year-round portfolio -- is a hop bomb of some of the most distinct Pacific Northwest varietals available to craft brewers today.

In fact, three years of crafting our Single Hop Imperial IPAs with some of the most rare and flavorful hop varieties enabled us to craft this bold, yet balanced Imperial IPA. Its sharp hop bitterness begins with huge pine notes on the nose, which evolve into bright citrus and subtle stone fruit flavors. 

You can find The Truth in Maryland and Washington, DC on shelves and in stores this month. And be sure to check out our release events on Friday, August 16:
